Description

The Straight Wall also know as Rupes Recta located in Mare Nubium. Visually it is always a treat but the image shows so much more detail even under less than optimum skies. The seeing, as is so common here in IL, was on the poor side and given the opportunity, I will try again under more favorable conditions.

Rupes Recta, for those not familiar with the feature, measures about 110 km in length with a height of about 280 meters. The Rima Birt Rille is seen below Rupes Recta along with the crater Birt.
